About Overdose Awareness

A practical, independent place to begin with overdose response, support, remembrance, and community action.

Last reviewed: September 6, 2026

Who publishes these sites: Overdose Awareness is an independently operated public-interest information project. It offers practical starting points for overdose response, support, remembrance, and community action.

Three sites, three roles

  • OverdoseAwareness.org is the practical response, support, and resource-navigation Hub.
  • OverdoseAwarenessMonth.org provides campaign planning and sustained-action tools.
  • OverdoseAwarenessDay.org provides remembrance and grief-aware gathering guidance.

Independent, not official

These sites are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or the official International Overdose Awareness Day campaign. Visit the official International Overdose Awareness Day website ↗ for the global campaign, its current theme, and official campaign resources.

What this project does—and does not do

The project links to original public-health agencies, service providers, and community organizations. It is an orientation and signposting resource, not a replacement for emergency services, medical care, legal advice, crisis support, or current local guidance.
